"Activate when: user says 'I want to improve my thinking,' 'why does my decision-making keep failing,' 'how do I optimize my cognitive performance,' 'what's the full picture of how the mind works,' or is about to apply a single cognitive intervention without understanding which domain is the bottleneck.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Cognitive Science Landscape ## Overview Eight interconnected domains constitute human cognition: (1) Perception & Attention, (2) Memory, (3) Language & Thought, (4) Decision Making & Judgment, (5) Metacognition, (6) Emotion & Cognition, (7) Social Cognition, (8) Creativity & Innovation. Treating them in isolation produces local improvements systematically undermined by adjacent unaddressed weaknesses. The skill is NOT listing all eight domains — it is identifying which domain is the bottleneck and tracing its upstream dependencies. **Cross-skill composition:** Use BEFORE [metacognition] (covers domain 5 of 8 only). Use WITH [cognitive-evolution-stages]: landscape = WHAT domains exist; evolution stages = how competence within any domain develops. ## When to Use - A cognitive intervention (memory training, decision frameworks, mindfulness) is not producing results - Designing a learning or development program — avoid tunnel vision on one domain - Communication failures, team problems, or leadership gaps with a cognitive origin - Building AI systems that model or augment human cognition - Someone says "think better" without specifying which domain is the bottleneck …

How to install
mdr add deciqai/knowledge-skills/cognitive-science-landscape@sha256:b260ab10dfe4913aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.cb4e537, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
